An architecture for mobile communications in hazardous situations and physical disasters
Hazardous environmental conditions have always been a threat to human lives around the globe. Human society has seen some of the worst disasters due to accidents, physical phenomena or even cases that humans have created on purpose. The existing infrastructure can guarantee that there are …

How far can simulation be used to improve inter-team dynamics between emergency teams?
… must often work together in challenging and hazardous situations. Therefore, responders must know and trust each other’s abilities and strengths. Various responders have different: leadership, culture, structure and more due to being full-time professionals, part-time professionals or …

Low flux radiative ignition studies of ammonium perchlorate composite propellants
… a rocket motor case is exposed to low fluxes in hazardous situations, such as close proximity to a fire, unwanted ignition can also occur. These studies set forth to model and study the conditions of such a situation, including ignition time and temperature profiles as a function of several …

A margin-based approach to vehicle threat assessment in a homotopy framework for semi-autonomous highway navigation
… threat assessment and driving assistance in hazardous situations. A new approach to the threat assessment problem is introduced, based upon the estimation of the control freedom afforded to a vehicle. Given sensor information of the surrounding environment, an algorithm first identifies …

Threat Assessment and Proactive Decision-Making for Crash Avoidance in Autonomous Vehicles
… enough time to avoid crashes or near crash situations. Most vehicles on roads are human-driven, making it challenging to predict their intentions and movements due to inherent uncertainty in their behaviors. Moreover, different driver behaviors pose different kinds of threats. Various driver …

An Investigation Of The Autoignition Of Power Generation Gas Turbine Fuel Blends Using A Design Of Experiments Approach
… encountered in a premixer, potentially creating hazardous situations. The experimental results were correlated as a function of the different species. It was found that the effect of higher-order hydrocarbon addition to methane is not as profound as seen at higher temperatures (>1100 K). However, …
